Catch the BART out to Lake Merritt in East Bay, wonder around and head to one of the many great bars / restaurants on 19th / Telegraph. Go to North Beach, check out Spectacles + City Lights …

And definitely in the record industry

Buddy of mine wrote about his experience trying to get into the New Yorker here https://www.jasonchatfieldcomedy.com/blog/2017/4/26/new-york... …

They pay the investment into your company, you pay out what you need. They don't monitor expenses etc. Visa wise most people I know travel on an ESTA (visa waiver, 3 months) or get a B1 if needin…

Does it make it the wrong thing to do? I've never seen anyone so mad at someone for their technical decisions. Redin/Zillow et al won't show you cap rates.

Sadly upzoning those areas still won't be enough housing. And some areas (like piers along the Embarcadero) the neighbourhoods like Telegraph Hill viciously oppose them too. I don't think th…

Funny - tried to buy one at Melbourne Airport a long time ago on way back to SF and was told "we don't sell them here because they're region-locked". Good to know that's a myt…

I’ve been thinking about this lately and I think the challenge is that your competitors in sales calls can reference and undercut your public pricing easily. This assumes your customer segment shops a…

Paying off student loans, medical bills, emergency car repairs... basically anything that might deplete an emergency fund or where you might have dipped into this on the assumption your job wasn’t abo…

The author of the newsletter is now publishing the “OnDeck Daily”. Basically same awesome content, different name.

> Funny how everyone talks like Mashable lost to Techcrunch. Look up how much TC got acquired for, it's actually less than what Mashable got acquired for. Mashable raised $46m and sold for ~$5…

The YIMBYs have been trying to reduce regulation for a long time at the local government level. Unfortunately entrenched players don’t want to build more housing. In response the YIMBYs have taken it …

Will the combined entity be called Broadcomm or Qualcom?

Maybe? It's all about tradeoffs. I could see why you would want to figure out how much value the MVP is creating, and $$$ is an honest way to do that. It sounds like two things are happening with…

Maybe? It also likely would have reduced investment in social startups, especially those that didn’t have growth to indicate “breakout” status.

Hiring for marketing is incredibly tough. I’ve yet to work with a marketer I would recommend. Re your situation I’m not sure there is much you can or should do with $300. It’s too small an amount to m…

Pumped for these guys. I had a few different interactions with them in very small capacities over the years and they were always humble, genuine and supportive of the different projects/businesse…

Wrong thread bud! P.S. Love me some good eggs. The new meal kits are dope.

Also you're assuming that by not getting employers to pay for healthcare as the US has it today, that wait times will somehow be reduced...

I tried to find some good data around surgery wait times by OECD countries but couldn't find much except it seems that Canada + UK + US have bad wait times compared to other OECD countries. Does …

This is why the US system is broken. Wind the clock back 70 ish years and stop this and you'll likely end up with the same system as other developed countries like the U.K. Or Australia.

Awesome. Have recently started work on a well established product with a ton of data but it's painful to go through all these channels manually and tag it all. Ideally we'll get better at th…

Is this your commentary on Social Capital's performance to date, or your general distaste for venture capital?

My partner works in HR. If you have given them a salary figure previously and they do this check and find you have lied then they can withdraw their offer. This is why this check is in with the backgr…

Note: on a per capita basis countries that don't have universal health care (like the US) spend more on health insurance than countries that do (like Australia)

Having built a marketplace company around digital services I was a massive skeptical of Gigster but their revenue growth is phenomenal. Congrats to the team. Super keen to see how & when they expa…

I hadn't heard of that, will check it out. Thanks.

Does Ubuntu / Canonical force their addons onto users of the open source project?
